Zero She Flies - Al Stewart[00:00:01]
She's a mollusk [00:00:05]
A seamstress [00:00:06]
A princess [00:00:07]
A priestess [00:00:08]
A negress [00:00:10]
She knows her position[00:00:11]
She's a swallow [00:00:14]
A willow [00:00:16]
A cello [00:00:17]
A pillow [00:00:18]
A bow[00:00:19]
And also a physician[00:00:20]
She takes your eyes[00:00:25]
And mends your head[00:00:26]
She draws the wine[00:00:29]
And breaks the bread[00:00:31]
She has no lies to tell you[00:00:34]
And no truths to sell you[00:00:36]
She's a girl [00:00:38]
She's almost a woman[00:00:40]
And zero she flies as the morning sighs[00:00:43]
Spreads her wings like a seagull[00:00:49]
From the mountain he watches her [00:00:53]
Biding his time[00:00:56]
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle[00:00:58]
He's a hawthorn [00:01:10]
A raven [00:01:11]
A scarecrow [00:01:12]
A haven[00:01:14]
For moon-blessed thought and opinion[00:01:15]
He will laugh like the fountains [00:01:19]
The bones of the mountains[00:01:22]
Lie deep in his forest religion[00:01:24]
You will call his name when evening falls[00:01:29]
And the ground sets hard and the night wind calls[00:01:34]
You will feed him and heed him [00:01:38]
At times you will need him[00:01:41]
Say you were almost his woman[00:01:43]
And Zero she flies as the morning sighs[00:01:48]
Spreads her wings like a seagull[00:01:53]
From the mountain he watches her [00:01:57]
Biding his time[00:02:00]
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle[00:02:02]
In the shuddering mad red blood-let sunset[00:02:14]
A tired man is leaving his cover[00:02:19]
And the soft eyes of Zero[00:02:23]
Are cut by the sounds[00:02:26]
Of the vanishing feet of her lover[00:02:28]
And the door slams shut[00:02:33]
And the air grows tight[00:02:35]
And her throat is gripped[00:02:37]
By the hands of night[00:02:40]
And all that is left[00:02:42]
Is the clock on the shelf[00:02:44]
As it ticks one day into another[00:02:47]
And Zero she sighs as the morning dies[00:02:52]
With the broken wings of a seagull[00:02:56]
From the mountain he watches her sensing his time[00:03:01]
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle[00:03:06]
At the pall of the day the man of the mountain[00:03:18]
Is nearing the end of his travel[00:03:22]
And the fence is down[00:03:27]
On the westland bounds[00:03:29]
And a footfall pounds in the gravel[00:03:32]
Comes a knock three times[00:03:37]
And the air grows still[00:03:39]
As he steps inside from the sudden chill[00:03:41]
And the moment is caught in the net of the night[00:03:46]
For the coming of dawn to unravel[00:03:51]
And Zero she flies as the morning sighs[00:03:55]
Spreads her wings like a seagull[00:04:00]
From the mountain he's coming [00:04:05]
Judging his time[00:04:08]
And his eyes are the eyes of an eagle[00:04:09]
Oh Zero she flies as the morning dies[00:04:14]
Spreads her wings like a seagull[00:04:19]
From her window he watches her [00:04:24]
A man in his time[00:04:27]
But his eyes are the eyes of an eagle[00:04:28]
